[BJ the
Chicago Kid:] It's up to you (It's up to you) Yeah If fairytales are true, yeah [CHIKA:] Fairy tales are stories with lessons and allegories That tell us about the
world that could be But I

book look like me I
don't ever mourn my childhood Know my folks is happy that they child good Imperative a
narrative reflect what's up in my hood Figured that the
remedy is simple Let's make a
couple hits for all the
kids that need a
symbol Let's remind them that they matter, the

yarn 'bout candy ladies or 'bout waking up on Saturday Mama blasting gospel, cleaning house gon' take 'bout half the
day Afterwards, we pass a
J, think of all who passed away Smoke blown out the
window That's a
sin, though, know what Pastor say In services 'til late noon, wafers paired with grape juice Create a
classic spitting 'bout some shit we can relate to 'Cause ain't nobody talking bout a
beanstalk, nigga Lemme tell you when the
threes drop, nigga We get higher than the
treetops, nigga Pied Piper gone to jail because the
streets talk, nigga Role models only real until the
beat stop, nigga Karens love the
coloreds if it's Deepak, nigga But her walls so dry, call it sheet rock, nigga This is heat rock, bigger than the
world that I'm living in If I
gotta kill a
beat, I'll make it deliberate Fee fi fo fum, we live, go dumb Get a
little streetwear, now you think you know some Show and tell, dress up, little weird after you four-some Fiending for oppression, I
can really let you hold some Better bet they show they ass, better bet I
throw sum Jumping through the
hoop like an acrobat Then a
nigga jump into the
booth after passing that My people the
truth and so it's true, they be after that
